Hendry, 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon "Block 8"

The wine is a big fruit bomb, very syrupy and rich. Soft and silky tannins on the finish. This is a five grape blend, with some Petite Verdot which pumps up the flavor. Aged 20 months in new French oak, over oak’d another plus. Drink it now or let it rest for a year or two. 1800 Cases made. Once people figure this one out it will go fast. Big thanks to Dewayne and Sabine for turning me on to this one.
